Hi, I’m Dameon (Day). I’m a former IELTS examiner with over 15 years’ experience helping students improve their English and achieve higher band scores. I’ve worked with learners from many backgrounds, from university students to working professionals, and I specialise in IELTS preparation, conversation fluency, and clear, practical feedback. My approach is calm, supportive, and focused on real progress rather than memorised answers. Whether you’re preparing for an exam or building confident English for work and daily life, I’ll help you understand what examiners look for and how to improve efficiently.

Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I’m patient, organised, and very clear in my explanations. I focus on helping students understand why something works, not just what to say. As a former IELTS examiner, I give honest, practical feedback and realistic band guidance, while keeping lessons relaxed and encouraging. I adapt my teaching to each student’s goals, level, and learning style, and I aim to create a comfortable space where students can speak freely, ask questions, and make steady progress without pressure or confusion.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are structured but flexible. For conversation classes, we usually build vocabulary, read or discuss a short article or topic, and focus on fluency, accuracy, and natural expression. IELTS lessons follow exam formats closely, with targeted practice, clear strategies, and detailed feedback. I also offer writing support with corrections and improvement advice. Lessons are practical, goal-focused, and adapted to what you need most, whether that’s exam preparation, confidence building, or long-term English development.

General English Conversation – Vocabulary, Reading & Discussion
Dameon was helping me to prepare for IELTS and this was the best learning experience I ever had. We both worked hard to improve my Speaking and Writing skills, and I’ve got many useful insights on how to tackle Listening and Reading sections. As the result, after ~20 lessons I increased my band score by 1.5 in each section. I’ve got 7.5 overall band score on my IELTS, although I targeted 6.5 (and in my previous test I got only 6). I would highly recommend Dameon to anyone, even if not for IELTS preparation because of how capable he is as a teacher.

Dameon gave me helpful, practical advice on how to keep improving between our scheduled classes. He was very clear about what content we should focus on while in class to get the most out of our time. I really appreciate his straightforward and organized approach.

Chatting with Dameon is great because he is so knowledgeable. I've learned so much just by talking with him, and it's the perfect way to practice speaking and listening at the same time.
